From:                    Jay Evans, City Manager

Subject:                Resolutions authorizing  Agreements for fiscal year 2009-10 Civic Grant funding with Christian Care Center and Hospice of Lake and Sumter Counties

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends execution of the agreements for fiscal year 2009-10 civic grant funding with Christian Care Center and Hospice of Lake and Sumter Counties.

Analysis:

During the budget process, the Commission determined that civic funding for the FY 09/10 budget would be offered only to those organizations that received funding in FY 08/09.  The funding amount was determined by reducing last year’s award by 10%.  (Please note that the funding for Leesburg Cemeteries, Inc. was not reduced by 10% and remained the same as last year.)  A letter was sent to each organization in April 2009 advising them of the funding amount offered with a request to either accept or decline the proposal.  Each organization accepted the proposed amounts. Following is a list of the organizations and funding amounts.

Christian Care Center.  The budget approved September 28, 2009, recommended $1,885.00 for fiscal year 2009-10.  The attached agreement formalizes this commitment.

Hospice of Lake & Sumter Counties.  The budget approved on September 28, 2009, recommended $760.00 for fiscal year 2009-10.  The attached agreement formalizes this commitment.

2.  Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate

Fiscal Impact: 

A total of $166,997.00 has been included in the approved fiscal year 2009-10 budget for this purpose.
